ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Oxidative stress plays an important role in the health impacts of both outdoor fine particulate air pollution (PM 2.5 ) and thermal stress. However, it is not clear how the oxidative potential of PM 2.5 may influence the acute cardiovascular effects of temperature.METHODS:
We conducted a case-crossover study of hospitalization for cardiovascular events in 35 cities across Canada during the summer months (July-September) between 2016 and 2018. We collected three different metrics of PM 2.5 oxidative potential each month in each location. We estimated associations between lag-0 daily temperature (per 5ºC) and hospitalization for all cardiovascular (n = 44,876) and ischemic heart disease (n = 14,034) events across strata of monthly PM 2.5 oxidative potential using conditional logistical models adjusting for potential time-varying confounders.RESULTS:
Overall, associations between lag-0 temperature and acute cardiovascular events tended to be stronger when outdoor PM 2.5 oxidative potential was higher. For example, when glutathione-related oxidative potential (OP GSH ) was in the highest tertile, the odds ratio (OR) for all cardiovascular events was 1.040 (95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.004, 1.074) compared with 0.980 (95% CI = 0.943, 1.018) when OP GSH was in the lowest tertile. We observed a greater difference for ischemic heart disease events, particularly for older subjects (age >70 years).CONCLUSIONS:
The acute cardiovascular health impacts of summer temperature variations may be greater when outdoor PM 2.5 oxidative potential is elevated. This may be particularly important for ischemic heart disease events.
